Carney says Canada upholding values but drops talk of 'feminist foreign policy'
Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada will continue promoting LGBTQ+ rights and combating gender-based violence while shifting focus from feminist foreign policy to economic and multilateral engagement.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney said at a Johannesburg press conference on Sunday that Canada no longer has a feminist foreign policy.
- Under the Trudeau government, Canada announced a feminist foreign policy in 2017 and promised a defining document, but no full policy was published, while Carney has downplayed feminism and not named Jacqueline O'Neill's successor this year.
- At the summit, Prime Minister Carney highlighted the South African chair securing language on gender-based violence in the G20 joint declaration, which was supported by every attending leader.
- Carney argued that Canada’s relations with the European Union are "unmatched" due to shared values, even as President Donald Trump boycotted the summit and his administration objected to the G20 joint declaration.
- Carney announced talks with South Africa on a Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement, completed a nuclear cooperation agreement, and said Canada will receive a South African trade mission next year, while acknowledging Africa is a lower priority.
